I just realized what disease she had. ALS. She had ALS....Her body started to digerate,she could no longer move or speak after some time. Being up and running almost mad it worst.
The fact that they both wrote one final letter that they hoped the other would get makes me even sadder. They both died not knowing if the other one was even alive and weren’t able to say their final goodbyes to each other.
I find it incredibly, INCREDIBLY disappointing that this Vocaloid song was made in version one and not updated to version two or three or better sound quality. This is one of few songs made by practically anonymous composers on the Internet that I would consider worthy for being an orchestral score. It's really sad that the quality is incredibly low for the sound, when there are multiple orchestral and band parts, a beautiful vocal part, and an emotional backstory to the lyrics. It would make me immensely happy if someone were to update this song. Because, I mean; it's not plagiarism since you're just improving quality and not earning money.
Just gonna say for the record that like. Hitler went after a lot of minorities, not just Jewish people. Communists, LGBT, neurodivergent, even just people who were against the regime.
Well, the whole Story of Evil is made better when you realize they'll meet again after the Servant is reborn as M.O.T.H.Y, but with Prisoner/Paper Plane, they're dead forever, so I'll say this is sadder
I still cry at Prisoner+Paper Planes so I'll go with that. Servant of Evil only made me cry when I first saw it (It's my first Vocaloid song and it was Classical Version so yeah).
You know, considering how young they were, I think that field they were in was a part of Heaven. Len and Rin were very young in this, they were so innocent, and they loved each other very much. *Storytime* When Len's soul was being lifted into Heaven, he noticed Rin at the hospital. He saw what condition she was in, and wanted to be by her side. But, he didn't want to see his beloved die right in front of him, so he waited in the fields. When Rin was in her final moments, she was holding on to Len's letter. He was her only tie to this world, the smile on her face meant she was ready to go. When Rin's soul was being lifted, she saw that Len wasn't at his usual spot. She saw his body being put on a pile of others. Rin was heart broken, and when she reached the fields of heaven, her heart filled with joy as she saw Len again. Her wish was answered, "Let me go to where he is." When Len saw Rin, he was at his happiest. Now, they're spending the rest of time in the fields, telling each other things they weren't ready to admit on paper.......
That one Guy Ya, too much feels so I had to make a joke on Len punching Rin's dad. can't u see the ONE PUNCH MAAAAAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNN?!?!?!?
today is the first time I've listened to this song, and earlier i saw a paper airplane going over the stair banister (which does look like a fence)... coincidence? I think not!
This whole song is sad I cannot even find the saddest part, although the part I really start tearing up is when Len calls out for Rin after she gives him the last paper plane.
Jish Doon Maybe that the artist works for this song for a long time, and within that time period, their art style changed? Or, it was a collaboration of other artist. Either way, it still is great.
Honestly, every main character here is a victim. The Prisoner, the Daughter, even the Father. They all suffered because of circumstances which put them between rocks and hard places....or a fence and a gas chamber. Can't really hate the father THAT much because even though he could be considered the "villain" by ripping up the letters and killing off Len, he ironically brought them together in the afterlife by realizing his mistakes and handing the last letter to his daughter before death. And since he ordered Len dead...yea... In other words, the darkness which separated them brought them together again.
I felt totally calm. I thought I would make it trough this video without crying. I was wrong. At first, I was totally okay, maybe a little sad. Then it got to the part when Rin's father was beating Len up. My eyes started to water. And then, Rin's father ripped the paper airplanes, I saw Len's face, and the tears fell. Suddenly, without warning. Why? Why was a brought to tears by this gesture? Why did the look on his face kill me? Why?
omg yeeesss for some reason I didn't cry when i watched Prisoner. But i watch Paper Plane and my tears stream out of my eyes when Rin's father ripped Len's letter
...That moment when you realize that Rin died of ALS. Think about it, her limbs slowly stopped working, and her internal organ system started shutting down. Too bad they didn't have the ice bucket challenge in the 1940's. :( And that harmony at the end...beautiful. It gave me chills.
I actually managed not to cry: Its horribly sad though. Its because its basically like "The Boy In The Stripped Pajamas." If you read that, you'll understand everything o3o
Yeah, it's a lot like it-- I saw the movie version in class, I'll honestly say both this and the movie made me cry, it's such a sad topic for a movie/book/song/etc. XD
len: so how did you die? i thought you were going on a trip or something. rin: erm... i died of disease, like, cancer or something. len: oh, so...you didnt go on a trip :/ rin: nope, i lied :/
VOCALOID is so dead now... No one is making music like they used too. All the songs fans are listening too now we're made like years ago. I hope it blows up again. They are more than mascots.
Rue Sone i agree with you, right now, finding new vocaloid songs that told us story like servant of evil, paper plane or synchronicity series is really hard
ThePositive Guy the music has change but is not dead, kikou and other great music producers made tons of music in 2016, such as great songs like O light. There is tons of music being made you just have to keep up with it and not search for "vocaloid song"
I really like how the art style kept changing throughout the video, it give the video something special and makes you enjoy the end a lot more. (The last one was my favorite
So i watched this during school nd like, everyone was watching me sobbing and my friend was like, trying to calm me down she had to wipe my tears. the feels are seriously real. *still crying my eyes out*
This song will always have a special place in my heart. That one song I don't listen to everyday, but at some point in my life my heart will search for it, again and again.
I think Len is inprisoned because he is Jewish. As you can see the jailer are wearing brown uniforms and when you think of the time of the SS and the others, the german Soldat's were wearing brown uniforms.
Fka Sugarhigh That's true, the Nazis mainly imprisoned jews, political prisoners, prisoners of war, homosexuals, and gypsies. So if one were to try to narrow down why it is that Len is in a concentration camp it would probably be because he (in this scenario) is a Jew or a gypsie (which is another group that went through a diaspora), But if one were to go by probability, in this song he is probably there because he is a Jew since Jews were the largest group persecuted by the Nazis in concentration camp...also sorry about the pointless long-winded rant,,,
I don't need to understand the lyrics just to cry... The Scene and The voice of them both got me and I cried a *LOT* and even When they both sang together... Darn it ALL!!!! So Unfair !!! 😭😭😭😭
It’s been years since I’ve seen this song When I was really young, I really liked this song but didn’t really know the meaning of this song or anything Now coming back to it after all these years, I couldn’t help but burst into tears for this song 😭 it’s so sad and beautiful
There was cover of this song by CherryQ that I used to listen to daily and God just hearing this song again makes me want to cry. Especially the last line "until tomorrow, at that place with you." Omg I'm gonna cry-
Way to be a good parent, Rin's-douchebag-of-a-father. You have succeeded in killing your daughter's boyfriend out of petty envy. Not only that, but you had the audacity to give her a paper plane in her last moments! WTF!!
It wasn't envy. It was anger and a feeling of hopelessness. During that time, people like Len were generally thought of as the greatest evil alive. Rin's father, in desperation of seeing his daughter die slowly, needed someone - anyone - to lash out his sadness on. Rin got ill faster due to her trips out of the hospital, her father convinced himself that Len must have forced her with empty promises. So he took revenge. Right after Len hit him, though, he seemed to wake up from his crazed state and he realized what he had done. However, Len had already hit him. That was an open attack on an officer. If Rin's father would have protested against Len's inevitable punishment, he too would have been captured and severely handled. Not only him, but perhaps the rest of his remaining family as well, if he even had anyone left. He gave Rin that paper plane of Len's she dropped when her muscles had weakened too much to hold on to it, so that she could die with a memorial of someone dear to her. It was Rin's father's way to lastly beg her for forgiveness and his last request of wishing her a peaceful farewell. I understand the father's actions. He probably lost his wife, and was about to lose his daughter. He needed someone to blame, to lash out, to hurt. He simply couldn't handle his daughter dying like that. If I were in his shoes, I might have done the same. I wouldn't simply accept my child's fate, I would want revenge. Can we really blame him?
***** well, your facts make sense, but... we can blame him. if he's a good Nazi he wouldn't be thinking "hmm so that len forced my daughter to go there everyday, must KILL HIM. simple." and be like "wait who deh fk gave my daughter a letter? wait so thats why my daughter leaved the hospital everyday! must kill him so rin won't run away from the hospital again! simple." well if he didn't think like that, rin and len would be happy together already. he wouldn't be tearing len's letters apart, which... len punching him won't happen, he wouldn't die, and rin would not die too. (well i do understand that if he let len marry with her daughter they would be so dead... but... the rude history. not saying anything more now.)
siraphob Buahong Problem is, he WAS being a "good nazi". In that place, time and era, it was deemed alright to kill the appointed group that supposedly was to blame for all misfortune. (In this example, that'd be Len - a Jew - and Rin's father - a nazi officer -.) In their side's perspective, he was doing the right thing. The only reason why Rin and Len interacted the way they did was because they held the innocence of children. They didn't understand mistreatment against others, as they were still young and untrained in the cruel ways of politics and discrimination. The adults did know and acted accordingly, and the father did what he thought was right - and that what was in fact deemed right - especially - by the high ranking officers (sometimes even civilians were aware, but didn't mind) at the time. With this theme hanging around, the father's actions, regret and the end, the message of the song would be "don't put others below yourself, because eventually in death everyone is equal", or amongst those lines (Rin and Len meeting in the Afterlife - even though they probably had different world-views, they were able to look past that and still love one another). So, yes, in that time and era, with the practically brainwashed hatred for a specific group, a lot of parents would have done the same when confronted with the amount of sorrow, fear and anger Rin's father had been. I therefore cannot blame the man personally, even though his actions were wrong.
I don't know why, but the saddest part for me was after Rin's death, when Rin and Len started singing in harmony. Especially when they sang " Mata ashita/Anoba sho de" (See you tomorrow/You know where), and I saw Len smiling so warmly at Rin... I also wonder if Rin knew that her father ordered Len's execution or how Len died...
No matter how many times I see this it makes me cry. I've seen it over a hundred times by now and I still cry. This is one of my favorite songs/video's of theirs.
*looks at book i have to read* *watches video* *looks back at book: boy with the striped pajamas* school. why are you making me read basically the real paper plane/prisoner story? ;-;
I started crying right when my dad walked in the room dad: Hi I'm back from the store! me:Hi dad! *sniff* dad: Are you getting a cold? me: ... yes. *sniff* dad: put on some house shoes and stay warm me: okay dad. *starts to cry once dad leaves room*
It's been years since I last heard this song and its partner and yet here I am, crying my eyes out. Reminds me of how powerful some of these songs are.
There are novel about Prisoner and Paper plane now! Even manga: Prisoner and paper plane shounen paradox. Len, known as prisoner no.420, Rin known as Ruri Check it out there are wayyyyy more suprise! (Yet they both still die in the end XD)
The first Vocaloid song that I listened, the song that made fell in love with those voices and the producers, animators behind their songs when I was 14, now I'm 22 and came back here to cherish it < 3
I just realised that the art style from the beginning to the end is different. Was this made by two people or did the person who created this started it but left it for a couple of years and continued it again? (That might've not made sense lolol)
I have never cried so much over a RUclips video Its so deep and heartfelt. Seriously, twighlight is NOTHING compared to this! This is real love that lasts forever :)
Rin: sings Me: liquid in eyes Len: sings Me: DROWNSSSSS THE WHHHHOOOOOOLLLLLLLLEEEE WORLLDDDDD INNN MYYYY TEAARRRRRSSSSSS Me: "LEN WHHYYYYY!?!?!?!?!" Also, wanna add that it's so sad that Rin's father ripped the letters. Like WHYYYYY DADDDDDDD WHY DIDDDD YOUUUU DOOOO THATTTT I swear only rin, len, and homestuck makes me cry this much.

The fact that they both wrote one final letter that they hoped the other would get makes me even sadder. They both died not knowing if the other one was even alive and weren’t able to say their final goodbyes to each other.

YES THIS!!! Ive always wanted an orchestral version of this song still none so far hahah qwq

@@hannaaaa17 Yea exactly. I don't know if I came off as shallow, I was just pointing it out but you're absolutely right
2023 and I'm still hoping for the vocaloid tuning gods to notice this song
Dang now I want it too..
I don't know what's worse: Prisoner+Paper Plane or Servant of Evil+Regret Message.
Worse? They are beutifull ballads... -.-
Well, the whole Story of Evil is made better when you realize they'll meet again after the Servant is reborn as M.O.T.H.Y, but with Prisoner/Paper Plane, they're dead forever, so I'll say this is sadder
evrybodyhave o die someday. Paper plane+prisoner are more reality based.
paper plane easily i cried more at it
I still cry at Prisoner+Paper Planes so I'll go with that.
Servant of Evil only made me cry when I first saw it (It's my first Vocaloid song and it was Classical Version so yeah).
When Len sang out that he was gonna wait for Rin until she came back, I sobbed like a baby!! 😩😩
Sorry...
oml same XD

+Nebula Grace I can't even make Paper Planes anymore thanks to this song.

like seriously how?
i don't even know how to make one and now i don't want to--
This whole song is sad I cannot even find the saddest part, although the part I really start tearing up is when Len calls out for Rin after she gives him the last paper plane.
That's where I start bawling and I can hardly read the lyrics even more after that I'm crying so hard.
Listen to the song Prisoner, its Len's Point of View of the situation
Has anyone else noticed that the art style changes quite often?
Jish Doon Maybe that the artist works for this song for a long time, and within that time period, their art style changed? Or, it was a collaboration of other artist. Either way, it still is great.
Kagamine Himeka It has some art from Prisoner
It's a collaboration, haha.
Yep it changed like 5 times
wait.... YES
Honestly, every main character here is a victim. The Prisoner, the Daughter, even the Father. They all suffered because of circumstances which put them between rocks and hard places....or a fence and a gas chamber. Can't really hate the father THAT much because even though he could be considered the "villain" by ripping up the letters and killing off Len, he ironically brought them together in the afterlife by realizing his mistakes and handing the last letter to his daughter before death. And since he ordered Len dead...yea...
In other words, the darkness which separated them brought them together again.

Because you care

Rin Kagamine Yes. That is when it started.. kinda like a gas leak... but den the gas chamber was like a match..... and BOOM, I lost it...xD
omg yeeesss for some reason I didn't cry when i watched Prisoner. But i watch Paper Plane and my tears stream out of my eyes when Rin's father ripped Len's letter
...That moment when you realize that Rin died of ALS.
Think about it, her limbs slowly stopped working, and her internal organ system started shutting down.
Too bad they didn't have the ice bucket challenge in the 1940's. :(
And that harmony at the end...beautiful. It gave me chills.
nOPE

true
ThePositive Guy the music has change but is not dead, kikou and other great music producers made tons of music in 2016, such as great songs like O light. There is tons of music being made you just have to keep up with it and not search for "vocaloid song"

i haven't legitimately had tears come from my eyes in 5 months. i legit cried in both of these
You don't need amazing quality to move the hearts of people, you only need passion.
This is one of the best songs to make me cry T_T
I still get goosebumps, this song will never fail to get me down and cry lol
The stories between Rin and Len always make me cry. I really love them
Why am I doing this to myself? Yeah like watching all the sad Rin/Len songs was such a great idea. D'X
So i watched this during school nd like, everyone was watching me sobbing and my friend was like, trying to calm me down she had to wipe my tears. the feels are seriously real.
*still crying my eyes out*
GOD DAMMIT MY HEART BREAKS AS SOON AS THEY PUT BOTH SONGS TOGETHER AAAGGH
This song will always have a special place in my heart. That one song I don't listen to everyday, but at some point in my life my heart will search for it, again and again.
Its really been over 10 years and this still makes me cry ;u;
len: "i'll be waiting for you"
me: WHOS CUTTIN ONIONS HERE!!!
THE TEARS! THEY ARE CLOUDING MY VISION~

damn
It been almost a decade and i still cry while listening to this wtf 😭😭
I think Len is inprisoned because he is Jewish. As you can see the jailer are wearing brown uniforms and when you think of the time of the SS and the others, the german Soldat's were wearing brown uniforms.
That is true, but it is the nearest conclusion I came to.
Not quite a jail/prison. A concentration camp is what you are looking for.
I wonder why such a young person is in jail, though.
pgrankin1
Again, concentration camp. They just grabbed anyone that was Jewish and threw them into camps.
Fka Sugarhigh That's true, the Nazis mainly imprisoned jews, political prisoners, prisoners of war, homosexuals, and gypsies. So if one were to try to narrow down why it is that Len is in a concentration camp it would probably be because he (in this scenario) is a Jew or a gypsie (which is another group that went through a diaspora), But if one were to go by probability, in this song he is probably there because he is a Jew since Jews were the largest group persecuted by the Nazis in concentration camp...also sorry about the pointless long-winded rant,,,
I don't need to understand the lyrics just to cry... The Scene and The voice of them both got me and I cried a *LOT* and even When they both sang together...
Darn it ALL!!!!
So Unfair !!! 😭😭😭😭
This was the hardest I've cried of any vocaloid song ;________;
For the people new here or coming back, the annotations got wrecked by youtube. There is a translation on the description, tho
OMG i cried... This is an amazing story in a well written song... At least they got to meet eachother in heaven... :,)
i love the harmony bits at the end
Lie down
Try not to cry
Cry a lot
Proceed to listen to happy Vocaloid songs for the rest of the day
It’s been years since I’ve seen this song
When I was really young, I really liked this song but didn’t really know the meaning of this song or anything
Now coming back to it after all these years, I couldn’t help but burst into tears for this song 😭 it’s so sad and beautiful
There was cover of this song by CherryQ that I used to listen to daily and God just hearing this song again makes me want to cry. Especially the last line "until tomorrow, at that place with you."
Omg I'm gonna cry-
Thank you sm, good old times...
Way to be a good parent, Rin's-douchebag-of-a-father. You have succeeded in killing your daughter's boyfriend out of petty envy. Not only that, but you had the audacity to give her a paper plane in her last moments! WTF!!
IKR!
Lilac Gemani and ended up killing his own daughter
It wasn't envy. It was anger and a feeling of hopelessness. During that time, people like Len were generally thought of as the greatest evil alive.
Rin's father, in desperation of seeing his daughter die slowly, needed someone - anyone - to lash out his sadness on.
Rin got ill faster due to her trips out of the hospital, her father convinced himself that Len must have forced her with empty promises. So he took revenge.
Right after Len hit him, though, he seemed to wake up from his crazed state and he realized what he had done. However, Len had already hit him. That was an open attack on an officer. If Rin's father would have protested against Len's inevitable punishment, he too would have been captured and severely handled. Not only him, but perhaps the rest of his remaining family as well, if he even had anyone left.
He gave Rin that paper plane of Len's she dropped when her muscles had weakened too much to hold on to it, so that she could die with a memorial of someone dear to her. It was Rin's father's way to lastly beg her for forgiveness and his last request of wishing her a peaceful farewell.
I understand the father's actions. He probably lost his wife, and was about to lose his daughter. He needed someone to blame, to lash out, to hurt. He simply couldn't handle his daughter dying like that. If I were in his shoes, I might have done the same. I wouldn't simply accept my child's fate, I would want revenge.
Can we really blame him?
***** well, your facts make sense, but... we can blame him.
if he's a good Nazi he wouldn't be thinking "hmm so that len forced my daughter to go there everyday, must KILL HIM. simple." and be like "wait who deh fk gave my daughter a letter? wait so thats why my daughter leaved the hospital everyday! must kill him so rin won't run away from the hospital again! simple." well if he didn't think like that, rin and len would be happy together already. he wouldn't be tearing len's letters apart, which... len punching him won't happen, he wouldn't die, and rin would not die too. (well i do understand that if he let len marry with her daughter they would be so dead... but... the rude history. not saying anything more now.)

Problem is, he WAS being a "good nazi". In that place, time and era, it was deemed alright to kill the appointed group that supposedly was to blame for all misfortune. (In this example, that'd be Len - a Jew - and Rin's father - a nazi officer -.)
In their side's perspective, he was doing the right thing.
The only reason why Rin and Len interacted the way they did was because they held the innocence of children. They didn't understand mistreatment against others, as they were still young and untrained in the cruel ways of politics and discrimination.
The adults did know and acted accordingly, and the father did what he thought was right - and that what was in fact deemed right - especially - by the high ranking officers (sometimes even civilians were aware, but didn't mind) at the time.
With this theme hanging around, the father's actions, regret and the end, the message of the song would be "don't put others below yourself, because eventually in death everyone is equal", or amongst those lines (Rin and Len meeting in the Afterlife - even though they probably had different world-views, they were able to look past that and still love one another).
So, yes, in that time and era, with the practically brainwashed hatred for a specific group, a lot of parents would have done the same when confronted with the amount of sorrow, fear and anger Rin's father had been.
I therefore cannot blame the man personally, even though his actions were wrong.
Am I the only one who thinks that Rin's dad looks like Germany from Hetalia?
Wut Duck ikr!
EXACTLY
I don't know why, but the saddest part for me was after Rin's death, when Rin and Len started singing in harmony. Especially when they sang " Mata ashita/Anoba sho de" (See you tomorrow/You know where), and I saw Len smiling so warmly at Rin... I also wonder if Rin knew that her father ordered Len's execution or how Len died...
No matter how many times I see this it makes me cry. I've seen it over a hundred times by now and I still cry. This is one of my favorite songs/video's of theirs.
*looks at book i have to read*
*watches video*
*looks back at book: boy with the striped pajamas*
school. why are you making me read basically the real paper plane/prisoner story? ;-;
O~O IM DROWNING MY CEREAL NOW
+Devonya Kirkland RIP Cereal, it never did any wrong.
+Devonya Kirkland
*Life lesson:* Do not watch sad stuff while eating cereal.
The poor cereal....
I started crying right when my dad walked in the room
dad: Hi I'm back from the store!
me:Hi dad! *sniff*
dad: Are you getting a cold?
me: ... yes. *sniff*
dad: put on some house shoes and stay warm
me: okay dad. *starts to cry once dad leaves room*
It's been years since I last heard this song and its partner and yet here I am, crying my eyes out. Reminds me of how powerful some of these songs are.

There are novel about Prisoner and Paper plane now! Even manga: Prisoner and paper plane shounen paradox. Len, known as prisoner no.420, Rin known as Ruri
Check it out there are wayyyyy more suprise! (Yet they both still die in the end XD)
The first Vocaloid song that I listened, the song that made fell in love with those voices and the producers, animators behind their songs when I was 14, now I'm 22 and came back here to cherish it < 3
Len is always dying...
this should be a movie like The Boy in the Striped Pajamas. I'D WATCH IT!!!
Ok but the first scene reminded me of the Boy in The Striped Pajamas movie and I cried.
BryDoesThis X you right. It's so sad T^T
Oh my god I love the bit at the end when the choruses from both songs combine to create a beautiful harmony.
I Love this song！！！
me too!
How could I handle until 3:22 without crying? This is a personal record!
THE FEEEEEEEEEEEEELS *hugs aliceblood*
you beat mine! I am still cying right now
I handled it all the way until that part then my feelz broke and I cried T^T
***** THE FEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEELS . . .SSSSSSSSSSSSSS
sohara ezumo I know T-T
TT.TT WHY IS THIS SO SAD?! THE FEELS!
It is and it hits me... T^T
I FINALLY FOUND THIS OMG IVE BEEN SEARCHING FOR THIS FOR YEARS
I just realised that the art style from the beginning to the end is different. Was this made by two people or did the person who created this started it but left it for a couple of years and continued it again? (That might've not made sense lolol)
Nope, this was a collaboration consisting of multiple people! ^ ^
Still so good shit that makes you cry.
7:00 always gets me
I have never cried so much over a RUclips video
Its so deep and heartfelt.
Seriously, twighlight is NOTHING compared to this!
This is real love that lasts forever :)
This song broke me~ Prisoner was so sad!! I can help but like it though, even though every time I hear the two songs I bawl my eyes out D;
When Len started singing at 3:20 is when I start crying
Rin: sings
Me: liquid in eyes
Len: sings
Me: DROWNSSSSS THE WHHHHOOOOOOLLLLLLLLEEEE WORLLDDDDD INNN MYYYY TEAARRRRRSSSSSS
Me: "LEN WHHYYYYY!?!?!?!?!"
Also, wanna add that it's so sad that Rin's father ripped the letters.
Like WHYYYYY DADDDDDDD WHY DIDDDD YOUUUU DOOOO THATTTT
I swear only rin, len, and homestuck makes me cry this much.
Sorry...
+Len Kagamine get your fudging sister here. I need to hug her.
Whhaaattt?....0_0
So beautiful...I cry as I write this. I wish mainstream music where half as meaningful and touching as this song.
